You can find out more about CAT Studios by visiting
www.CatStudios3D.com. The breakthrough book series and card game,
Adventures of the Elements, is currently being used in classrooms
across the nation as a science learning tool. The characters are
based on elements from the periodic table and molecules/compounds.
With characters such as: Arla Argon, Pete Phosphorus, Ollie Oxygen,
and Holly Hydrogen, opponents battle it out depleting each other�s
life points all while having fun developing a greater understanding
of science. Knowledge is power in this game and the drive for
competition motivates kids to learn more about the elements
including their atomic value (atomic mass attack points) and what
elements can be combined to make compounds, such as H2O (water).
"Education in the U.S. is in a state of peril as evidenced by U.S.
academic test scores compared to other countries, the reduced
number of technical, engineering, and science degrees earned by
Americans, and the watering-down of the U.S. education system.
Current teaching methodologies are, in many instances, archaic and
not applicable to learning the skills necessitated for contemporary
society. One solution is education through entertainment--taking
what kids like to do and making it educational. This is the
underlying premise for the Adventures of the Elements. It is
cutting-edge entertainment that teaches,� stated Richard James,
Vice President of Alchemy Creative, Inc. CAT Studios founder and
president, Trent Di Giulio, is working closely with Mr. James on
coordinating the creation of the 3D elements and character
animation involved in this massive undertaking. In the Adventures
of the Elements, five brothers and sisters find special glasses
that allow them to see these element and molecule/compound
characters in the real world. They experience the unseen world and
nature�s warfare of battling elements and molecule/compounds
leading through an untold world of adventure and excitement. CAT
will also produce the Adventures of the Elements card game
instructional video to aid teachers in explaining to their classes
how to play the game; furthering education through entertainment.
The 3D animation & production will be a sophisticated blend of
stunning imagery with unusual animated special effects sequence
with the characters of AOE. Already in production, the team is in
the development & modeling stages on 3D environments &
characters. The production will utilize Motion Capture systems in
the development of its character animation sequence, along with
traditional key-framing. CAT and its �Champion Animation Team� are
very excited to work with Adventures of the Elements. CAT�s
director Trent Di Giulio says, �We are very impressed by Mr.
James�s Adventures of the Elements. This project for us is unique
